Can we start doing that in the US too? We’ve got quite a few Russian collaborators in Congress.

Be careful what you wish for.

Are you seriously making a slippery slope argument that if some politicians were held accountable for wrongdoing, we'd have to do so for all of them?

Yes please!

Or did I badly misread you?

Either that or he's implying that some of the politicians you or I might like would be among those revealed to be unethical/treasonous/etc. Which brings us back to the same response--yes, please hold them accountable! I'd love to know if I'm supporting a terrible person, so I can stop.

My read of the Red Scare era (McCarthy) is that while what we want is accountability, what we get is a low-trust environment in which both good and bad people are thrown in to the shredder, to the benefit of mostly bad people who hold the fear cannons.
